STO: Well meant and unintentional slavery

[Steppingfeet]

83.13 Questioner: I would say that a very high percentage of the laws and restrictions within what we call our legal system are of a nature of enslavement of which I just spoke. Would you agree with this?

Ra: I am Ra. It is a necessary balance to the intention of law, which is to protect, that the result would encompass an equal distortion towards imprisonment. Therefore, we may say that your supposition is correct. This is not to denigrate those who, in green and blue-ray energies, sought to free a peaceable people from the bonds of chaos but only to point out the inevitable consequences of codification of response which does not recognize the uniqueness of each and every situation within your experience.

Here Ra states the the "intention of law" is to protect. To protect something, I presume, in genera, involves the stoppage of one entities free will in order to preserve another entity's free will.

--------------------------
Off-the-cuff examples:

--An entity makes a unique product. They wish to have their work protected from infringement. They receive a patent prohibiting the will of other entities who may wish to duplicate the product for their own gain.

The inventor's free will is protected, the will of the entity intending infringement is stopped.

--Entity A wishes to live. Entity B wishes that Entity A not live. A law, or codified set of rules on acceptable and non-acceptable actions, is created to protect Entity A against murder, making it a crime to kill Entity A.

Entity A's free will is protected, the will of the would-be murderer is limited.
----------------------------

I recognize that this is simplistic, and that those creating (and influencing the creation of) laws intend not always the protection of an other-self for the maximum use of the other's free will, but rather protection of their own interest, namely the increase of power and profit at the expense of others.

It would seem however that this protection of one entity, or many entities - be it protection of their physical vehicles, their activities, the fruits of their labor, i.e., protection of some form of their free will - necessarily involves what Ra called "an equal distortion towards imprisonment", because to protect one entity is to put a limit on the free will of another.

Perhaps in a pre-veil society, or 4th-density positively oriented society, there is no desire to infringe on the free will of another, so no institutions need be established to create and enforce and review law. No rulebook need be made for how individuals and groups ought to properly relate to one another, because individuals/groups in pre-veil and post-veil societies are not separated from oneness by a veiled conscious mind. They naturally act in accord with the first distortion, honoring it fully because there is no possibility to do otherwise.

With the veil, and subsequent confusion regarding the true nature of the self, inevitably follows law, it would seem, because entities in their confusion seek to infringe upon the free will of others. At base then the spirit of the law is to protect from infringement.
